Re: New Robot Control System!
If I may venture a wild guess based on my own speculative adventures into radio controlled robotics:

USB joysticks/controllers via a laptop included in the K.O.P. (OI+dashboard combined) and a new radio format - Zigbee? 2.4GHz, 115kbps up to 300'... http://www.maxstream.net/products/xb...ule-zigbee.php

Wireless everything, including programming and debugging.

As for..."adaptability to a wider variety of programming languages"...hrmmm, no ideas...
